A Captain’s Lot
is Not
a Happy One

To lose one officer is a misfortune; to lose two looks … careless, especially when the word “lose” is more literal than euphemistic.  The all-too-newly Captain Reese was only glad that, technically, his predecessor had died on her own watch along with Knight’s first partner.  The curious disappearance of the detective himself was another matter.  And the simultaneous vanishment of the pathologist would undoubtedly be mentioned, though technically outside the jurisdiction of the board of enquiry.

And, of course, there was the murder of Detective Vetter.  The Commissioner was breathing fire.  As a father, Reese understood; but it was his bacon sizzling.

Are things really all that bad, Captain Reese?
